Respite care provides an opportunity for self-expression, relaxation, and rejuvenation. This dramatically helps both seniors and their caregivers.

In the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napolean Hill, one of the main takeaways from the book is that an individual with desire, faith and persistence can reach great heights by eliminating negative energy and thoughts and focusing on the greater goals in hand. This principal is easily learned by anyone who has taken advantage of respite care services.

Respite Care, a lesson learned.

Most people don’t ask for help when caring for a loved one at home, but the fact is that many successful people in the world have stated that only by gathering a team of skilled people were they able to achieve significant success. Don’t feel guilty or ashamed to ask for respite care to help take care of a parent. Cars go in for tune ups, race cars go in for pit stops, boxers sit down between rounds, sports games have innings, and quarters, so why is it odd for a person who is working full time, caring for themselves, their finances, their family and households to need a break? It is actually a disadvantage to both the caregiver and receiver of care to not have the primary care giver take respite breaks. Only robots work all the time and even machines get routine!

Home Instead Senior Care St. Charles County, MO provides a regular break for the caregiver to do what they need to do, and this is not selfish at all. Whether it’s singing, antique shopping around St Peters or bird watching, life is to be enjoyed and it’s important to take time to do the things you enjoy. The fact is, you will be a much happier person and capable of better care.

Often times someone taking a respite care break can provide an opportunity to step out of the routine and reflect on things that can actually help improve the entire care giving relationship. It’s like thinking outside the box. Individuals providing care stick to schedules because they have to, there is only so much time in a day, so a short break out of the routine can be relaxing and enlightening.

It starts by reaching out to trusted friends and family members and then by researching established respite care services available through the St Peters community.
